Rocky Beginning

We got a call one night just after Thanksgiving that our grandson needed a place to live or he was going to go to foster care. His mom had her parental right stripped by the state of Pa and his dad is deceased. He had been with an aunt through marriage but they got divorced and she decided she no longer wanted to raise him. He has seen a lot a child his age, or any child actually, never should. He has mental issues that stem from some of what he has already experienced in life, as well as clear trauma responses to situations. He has received only negative attention so much I his life that he almost always misbehaves to seek attention. He was also raised with a screen Infront of his face so he doesn't know how to entertain himself with out the TV or a video game. It's almost like he has no imagination. Anyway long story short it has taken several months to figure out what works to curb his behavior and are slowly turning him around and headed down the right path.
